Hi William,
There is, of course, the standard InstallMenu command that has been built
into Director at least since V 4. A perusal of the Lingo Dictionaly or Help
will provide details. There is also another solution, the Dropdown List
behavior provided in the Library, which may be able to be used for your
purposes. If these options, or a search of the archives, do not completely
do what you need I you may wish to consider the Popup Xtra by UpdateStage.
Here is some information:
Popup Xtra, formerly sold as PopMenu Xtra, enables you to create
hierarchical popup menus with customizable forecolor, backcolor, font,
fontsize, selected item indicator, menu indicator and alignment. The menu
contents can be changed at any time with Lingo to provide the user with
context-sensitive menu choices. Version 3.1.0 of Popup, the first version
released by updateStage, added the ability to dynamically determine the menu
position at runtime, so that you can display a menu anywhere on the stage
when the user holds down the mouse.
The latest version of Popup, v 3.2, adds the ability to use Popup Xtra in
Shockwave. The "Go" menu on the lefthand side of this page was created with
Popup Xtra. Owners of a prior release purchased from updateStage can upgrade
to the current version for $79.00.
Price: $299.00
Upgrade from a version prior to 3.2: $79.00
Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac
Director versions supported: 5,6,7,8,8.5
Shockwave-safe, Shockwave auto-install
